[Charles Agvent]

 From our new catalog to be posted this week containing 66 Literary 
Archives, Letters, Manuscripts, and Photographs.

WAUGH, Evelyn. AUTOGRAPH LETTER SIGNED (ALS). n.p., 4 December 1959. A 
two-page AUTOGRAPH LETTER SIGNED (ALS) on a sheet of blue airmail paper 
with self-envelope and holograph address responding to Jane Callaway in 
Ohio, advising her if she had trouble understanding it, to read 
BRIDESHEAD REVISITED again, additionally suggesting that she read all of 
his other books as well as a book about him. "I think it vulgar for a 
writer to discuss his own work. Still worse to ascribe any value to 
it.... If I may offer advice without impertinence stop writing letters 
to people in 'Japan, Germany, Canada' and above all in Great Britain." 
Crease from mailing, tape stains at corners and bottom center from 
previous mounting, otherwise Near Fine. (#019386)        $1,000.00
